On Sunday morning, Art Sherman, the trainer of the beaten Triple Crown favorite California Chrome, told the media that Steve Coburn, the outspoken co-owner of the horse, was going to be on television again.

Sherman thought Coburn would use the opportunity to apologize for his tirade Saturday, when he called the connections of Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist basically cowards for not running in the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

No, Coburn wasn't going to do any such thing. Before departing the Triple Crown scene for home in Nevada, the 61-year-old factory worker got back on his soapbox one more time.

Speaking to "Good Morning America" on a remote interview outside the Belmont Cafe near the clubhouse turn, Coburn had some more jaw-dropping comments to share with America. And these were worse than Saturday's.

This rant again had to do with Tonalist and the Belmont second-place finisher Commissioner. Neither of those horses ran in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, the first two legs of the Triple Crown. California Chrome was one of three horses who ran in all three races.

"That would be like me, at 6-foot-2, playing basketball against a kid in a wheelchair," Coburn said.

He said that three times during the interview. America cringed for the second time in 12 hours.

"Triple Crown. That means three. Not one. Not two," Coburn said. "If you don't realize that, maybe you need to go back to school and figure this out. If something isn't done, I will never see a Triple Crown winner."

Coburn says if a horse doesn't run in the first leg of the Triple Crown, it should not be allowed to compete in the other two. Tonalist didn't run in the Derby because he came down with a lung infection earlier this year, forcing him to miss the second half of the Derby prep season.

Coburn either didn't know that or didn't care.

Tonalist won the Peter Pan at Belmont on May 10, his first race since Feb. 22. He was a fresh horse in the Belmont. The Belmont was California Chrome's fifth race since March 8.

After Coburn did his "Good Morning America" interview and also one for ESPN, he brushed by a group of print writers waiting for him at the Belmont Cafe. He declined to say anything. On the television side, he was so over the top that he gave out his own phone number, inviting anyone watching to give him a call and discuss his views.

California Chrome, meanwhile, left Belmont at about 11:30 a.m. Sunday for a flight to California. Sherman said the horse was doing fine despite losing a chunk of flesh by inadvertently kicking himself in the right front leg after getting bumped by longshot Matterhorn at the start of the Belmont.

"If that's the only thing, we can heal that up," Sherman said. "It will take me two to three weeks, and then we'll stop on him for about six or seven weeks and give him some pasture time."

Sherman reiterated that the colt would not be going back east this year, ruling out a trip to Saratoga Race Course to run in the Travers Stakes in August.
